This is a most useful thread, I have been 'peeing' about with my TIg welder for the betterpart of a day trying to get some settings to help repair my Series 3 bodywork, so far Ive learned from my own mistakes that cleanliness is key and its real easy to get a big hole very quick !... oh and...

Finally found a photo showing the csw 109" bulk head to look pretty similar to my 110 - so am confident I can resolve the leg room. then look at a turret hole for my head ! thanks folks for the information.

Hi Col I’ve been reading your posts , I’m 6’2” and 16 stone. I do have a rather long thigh though. Am I correct in assuming the seat box to bulkhead behind the seat arrangement are pretty much the same in a 109” as a 110” that is to say once the seat rail is lifted up to clear the bulkhead in...

Looking for a replacement landrover - had a look around a s3 88" last week and to be blunt could barely get in behind the steering wheel - it had by the looks of it been a short cab / pick up rear and had a hard top fitted. Behind the front seats was a 4"+ high bulk head full width. The 'seller'...

Stolen from outside my home last night - its a 110 TD5 2002 reg CV02HHC. from SK237Er Whaley Bridge High Peak Derbyshire Base spec' no significant enhancements to speek of, door hinges black - rear boot door fitted with a gas strut, no off side rear door card fitted as the doors shot with rust...

what sort of millage you getting out of the half shafts ? Ive no idea if mine are original (suspect so) at 149Kmiles they may well need looking at in the foreseeable.

I read that thread .. just wasnt 100% by the end of it if yours was td5 or if they were the same shafts / axels. Mines currently fitted with plastic push on caps. Not filling me with confidence.

Blimey - I cant imagine a machine tool drive shaft being left like that. Thanks for letting me know guys. Off for a good drive tomorrow, first time out more than 5 miles from home since lockdown - see how all the homeshop works have changed (dare not say improved) the drive. mat

Slightly surprised to see about 1/2" of end float on the half shafts of the rear axel of my 2002 TD5 110 when I took it in for a pair of new tyres. A quick google search and ive confused myself as to if a TD5 should or shouldnt have such float and if spacers are used or not etc etc. Any TD5...

Once I get a dimension I will make up a shoulder bolt. But everytime I tried an adjustment the bolt bent and rubbing ensued. PITA. Thanks for the reply. Feeling slightly less insane. Mat

Im running 265/75/R16 - Ive checked the head of the sheared bolt after rooting about in the bin 8.8 grade pretty standard. Im wondering If I should make up a spacer to stiffen things up a bit - cant see it would hurt as long as It stays put.

Having a bit of nightmare having decided to sort out the rather crap left and full lock - it being about 20% larger turning circle than turning right. The M12 hex bolt and locking nut were bent but effectively stopping the left turn (by stopping the RHOS wheel travel. So I removed the bolt...

Cheers for the info' I shall have a look - with regard the alternator - not got that far yet - but so far nothing ive started has gone smoothly ! So I suspect you are spot on. Still running in my new Remanufactured TD5 engine - the REV counter was a temperary measure to aid in the running in...

I have a few cables I want to take from the engine bay through into the dash to connect up, not done it before so looking for a some advice. Its my only motor and its a long trip to get additional parts so it would be nice to not run into problems once I start and I really dont want to without a...

Im 6'1" 15 stone - not quite a second row rugby player but no athelete either. Yes the 110 csw is cramped in standard form. Mine was already fitted with a momo ? steering wheel which sits on a 4" high boss. Its smaller dia and raised position help. I just fitted exmoor trim seat rails to gain...
